SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 787,123, dated April 117 1905.

Application filed January 5,1905. Serial No. 239,714.

To l/,/ Ll'/,o'm/ if' lit/ty emmer/b.'

Be it known that I, ROBERT lViLLIAu SEM- iLe, a `euh 'ect ot' the Kingof England residinv' E 5 b it 181, Vl-rospeet Park west, Brooklyn, in the bounty of Kings, State ol' New York, have invented a new and useful Combined Artists Palette and Color-Dish, of which the followng is a specilication.

lhe object et my invention is the produc- ;ien in one integral form et' an artists palette,

)olor-dish, or lslab which shall have certain ad ,'antages over those commonly used. lts con- ;truction is such that colors may be mixed on ihe palette portion, and at any time these :olors may be wiped or cleaned oli' with a iponge or cloth without danger oi' the colors )r dirt runningl back into the color-dish or slants.

My invention consists in forming the comined structure in such a shape as to prevent yhe How ot' anything that may be on the paltte into the color-dish or slants, and my in- Yention is illustrated in the accompanying lrawings, in whichv Figure l is a perspective View; and Figs. 2, S, andi, modilications thereof, also in perspecyive.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the lour ligures.

The palette part A and color-dishes or slants are integral and separated from each other )y the abrupt rib er wall C. The rib may be ornied by a part raised above the surface of he palette, as shown in Figs. l and Q, or by a groove D in the Surlace of the palette, as Shown in Figs. 3 and l. The edge D ot' this rib forms a barrier and prevents the passage of anything' from the palette to the colordishes, and the edge E may be used lor wiping the color from the brush into its proper slant. Any number of color-dishee or slante may be combined with the palette, and in practice the base is cut away to form edges or feet in order more lirmly to rest on the table. The whole may be made of any suitable material, such as metal, wood, glass, or porcelain.

Having 'fully described the nature ol' my invention, what l claim, and desire to Secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A combined artists palette and colordish consisting of a palette connected with one of a Series of color-dishes, said palette having a plane, unobstructed, upper Surface, and Separated Yfrom the color-dishes by a rib.

2. An article of manufacture coneisting ot' u a palette joined to one or a series of colordishes, said palette having a plane, unobstructed upper surface, and separated from the color-dishes by a rib which is raised above the plane of the upper surface of the dishes, Said rib having two edges, one on the palette side and the other on the side ol the colordishes.
